7
Observation and thinking are the two points of departure for all the spiritual striving of man, insofar as he is conscious of such striving. The workings of common sense, as well as the most complicated scientific researches, rest on these two fundamental pillars of our spirit.

I can’t be disappointed with my first gold in a senior championship, and to score 5000 points, which only one other woman, the world record holder, has got over, I am satisfied.
18
‘Jekyll and Hyde’ I read in high school. I was expecting a Hollywood-type horror story and couldn’t believe it when I got this very complex narrative from all these different points of view.
19
Love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith.

22
When I think of my work, I’m aware that I’m American and African at all points and times. And without a doubt, my experience and understanding of America was shaped by having immigrant parents.
23
24
In the ’90s, the radio was still alive with all different kinds of points of view, and I think that’s why people are longing for that time. It was the first time that alternative music broke through to the mainstream.
25
26
We all have these notions of cool that come about at different points in our lives, and it’s interesting in how it evolves or doesn’t evolve in different people.
27
28
Democrats were simply hoping to win some political points by getting their outlandish rhetoric published in the newspapers and heard on the talk shows.
29

31
My mom would drive me from Cleveland to New York City and use my dad’s hotel points for auditions. They were the most supportive parents that I could have. Without them, I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere.
32
The beauty of a finely worked object points to the beauty of the craftsmanship. The beauty of the craftsmanship points to the beauty of the name which was the source of the craftsmanship. The beauty of the name of the craftsman‘s art points to the beauty of the craftsman’s attributes manifested in that art.
33
The pickup points are a natural additional network for delivery. For me, the surprise is that Amazon didn’t come up with that idea.
34
The idea of telling a story in reverse destabilises your ordinary moral reactions. That’s one of the points of art – to challenge your preconceptions.

I prefer the word ‘journeyman‘ to ‘journalist‘ because I think that certainly, when you hear a story, you want to hear certain facts. But I also think what makes a story interesting is the points of view expressed therein.
42
We can score political points. We can try to advance some important initiatives. But at some point, it takes sober-minded, responsible conservative leaders to identify when you’ve pushed as far as you can and to have the courage to go back and face the electorate and explain to them why you voted the way you did.
43
44
We have points in common with the FDP, particularly when it comes to tax.
45
46
I will withhold federal funding from universities that shut down debate and can’t stand different points of view.

50
Hawaii is so complex; there are so many points of view, and there are so many experiences to see and to find.
51
Art points to things. It’s a way of giving people not the standard way of looking at the world.
52

55
56
The king is so subtle with his words that he would confound the apostolic religion itself. He will find the weak points of the pope‘s character and will trip him up to his destruction.
57
In a well-functioning democracy, people frequently encounter topics and points of view that they did not specifically select but from which they learn. Those encounters can change minds and, even, the course of lives.
58
59
First, I take a lot of time to just explain my vision of what the game should be to the team. Then I make all subsequent decisions based on how I want to feel when I buy the game, and what impressions I want to have of it. I then go about implementing the little points that will lead up to that finished product.
60
In the past, candidates‘ performances of ‘Christianity‘ have been strong points for voters, but Trump’s ascendancy with evangelicals has eviscerated that expectation. Evangelicals, like other voters, can be very pragmatic about the issues they want addressed by the leadership they support.
61
62
There are no points of the compass on the chart of true patriotism.
63
You can play basketball and have a magic night and score 40 points with your team-mates and win the game. There are favourites for the World Cup, but you can’t guarantee Germany, Spain, or Brazil will win, but here, everyone can guarantee that Mercedes or Ferrari will win the race, and this is very sad for the sport.
64
Some of my lowest points were the most exciting opportunities to push through to be a better person.
65
You need to understand the market, know how you can differentiate yourself in it, and grasp the price and the functional differentiation competitive points that are going to allow you to be disruptive.
66
67
The wrists, the Achilles‘ tendons, and the neck are some of the weakest points of the human body, so a lot of people have phobias about those things. I can’t deal with the undersides of wrists.
68
69
I’m actually surprised how technical a lot of commercial wine production is. Things are done very much from an industrial chemistry point of view at certain price points, but that’s not the impression you get with wine.
70
71
The biggest thing is winning. No matter what percentage, no matter what my numbers say in the sense of points, assists, rebounds and steals, it’s always been about winning.
72
73
74
75
The writers of the French enlightenment had deliberately used blasphemy as a weapon, refusing to accept the power of the Church to set limiting points on thought.
76
Your body is spewing off millions of data points a second.
77
As the director of an opera, it is my responsibility to unify the style of the particular performance, but one can certainly approach the piece from different points of view. That’s what makes it interesting and keeps it alive.
78
Far from the stereotype that psychodynamic treatments are appropriate only for the ‘worried well,’ a growing body of evidence points to their efficacy in dealing with the most pressing mental health problems of our time.
79
My law clerks come from diverse backgrounds and points of view.
80
Philosophical theories or ideas, as points of view, instruments of criticism, may help us to gather up what might otherwise pass unregarded by us.
81
Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage.
82
83
While some debate its helpfulness at generating monetizable traffic, when Digg points to a story, huge audience spikes quickly follow.
84
Obviously, people say offense wins games, defenses win championships. But I think, at the end of the day, if you score more points than the other team, you’re going to win.
85
The subject of angels and demons really grabbed me. There is a huge mass of information, and the Bible is one of the most amazing reference points.
86
Everyone does things differently on offense. Everyone’s goal is to score points.
87
Corrupt fantasy points us, or forms us, in a consciousness that can lead to thinking that evil is good and good is evil. In the worst case, this may have long range effects, prompting the reader intuitively, subconsciously, to do evil while thinking they’re doing good.
88
89
To me, the best writing points to something literal or common but is also nuanced: The moment when somebody is telling you they love you while simultaneously disappointing you. Everybody’s experienced that.
90
91
By definition, a hearing is an inquiry into many sides of an issue with testimony from various points of views. But mark this: The Republicans did not have a single woman to testify in support of the contraception mandate. That is not a hearing; that is a sham.
92
93
I’ve always felt that a person’s intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting points of view he can entertain simultaneously on the same topic.
94
I am calling attention just to the main points of these tremendously important matters, which can be understood better by pious meditation than explained by human language.
95
Build up your weaknesses until they become your strong points.
96
97
Essentially, you know, one of the great advantages of working in science fiction is it does give you an opportunity to talk about interesting and somewhat controversial themes and social issues and in a way that doesn’t really threaten the audience, because I’m not challenging their particular points of view.
98
99
It wasn’t until I got to college and had a lot of my ego beaten out of me… That’s when I started to turn to literature as something deeper than a way to put up points.
100
I encourage people and their different points of view.
101
102
103
104
Television has embraced so much in terms of storytelling and in terms of a wide array of characters conveying stories from different points of view.
105
I’m not necessarily proud of the World Cups and the grand slams won or lost, the amount of points I scored, this record or that.
106
I believe in immigration. But I feel people think it would be better if there was an Australian-style points based system so we could actually get a good system.
107
Like many students, I found the drudgery of real experiments and the slowness of progress a complete shock, and at my low points I contemplated other alternative careers including study of the philosophy or sociology of science.
108
I’ve adjusted to being mostly situated in Vancouver now, which I love, and to the fandom that comes along with it. At some points when we’re filming in Vancouver, there are more than 100 fans outside our scene. It’s so cool being able to be a part of something where people are so passionate.
109
110
111
I think two people with strong points of view can appreciate each other even more.
112
One of the things ‘Star Wars‘ is most deeply about is fathers, sons, and redemption. In its own way, it points to the indispensability of paternal love, and it has a lot to say about the lengths to which people – boys or girls – will go to get it.
113
The woeful tales of ‘Super Mario Bros.’ and ‘Street Fighter’ have taught studios that merely slapping a name to a movie is not enough to bring in the fans of the franchise. Also, the way games now unfold their stories more parallels that of a movie, with characters and plot points actually meaning as much as a high score.
114
115
116
117
118
119
I do not think that Caitlyn Jenner’s transition was easy. Coming out and transitioning as a public figure – even for someone like her – is an extraordinarily difficult task to undertake. I might not agree with her on a couple of points, but I will refuse to say that her transition was easy.
120
When I had decided to become an actor, I did a lot of soul-searching to figure out how I could be different. What could I bring to the table that others or my father couldn’t have? That’s when I worked on my strong points, namely action and dancing.
121
122
With marriage and fatherhood, I’ve finally found two fixed points in my life. They’ve taught me patience. They’ve also taught me that I don’t need to feel guilty about being happy. My emotional seasons are less extreme.
123
124
Context is worth 80 IQ points.
125
I’ve found that festivals are a relatively painless way to meet people and make a few points that need making, without having to hit them over the head with too many speeches.
126
127
You’ll remember Dr. Rice said that several times: It was not a warning about the place and the method and the time – it was a general warning. And that points out the imperfection, if you would, of our intelligence.
128
Amazingly enough, athletic achievement is one of those things that seems larger than life at points. I think we all look to sport for inspirations.
129
If you’re a publisher and you forbid deep linking into your site, or have a paid wall or registration requirement, then you’re making it hard to ‘point to’ your content. When no one points to your content, your content is harder to find because search uses links as a proxy for popularity.
130
At a very young age, I was influenced enormously by Julio Cortazar or Carlos Fuentes. In that literature, there’s always an exploration of different perspectives, points of view.
131
All men are liable to error; and most men are, in many points, by passion or interest, under temptation to it.
132
133
134
135
136
137
138
139
I just love biography, and I’m fascinated by people who have shifted our destinies or our points of view.
140
141
142
143
144
‘Cover Me.’ ‘Take Time To Know Her.’ ‘Warm and Tender Love.’ ‘Out Of Left Field.’ ‘Dark End Of The Street.’ ‘Tears Me Up.’ ‘My Special Prayer.’ All points back to one song. ‘When A Man Loves A Woman.’ The Grand-daddy to all of my songs. The boss of all of my songs. I have great respect for that song. Always will.
145
146
147
148
There is hard work involved, and maybe many people wouldn’t like that. But for the best teams in the world who can do that without losing too many points, then it’s just great.
149
150
151
152
I like playmakers, man, if it’s a playmaker on defense or offense, just a guy who is going to put up some points, a guy who’s going to be able to change the game.
153
What fascinates me are the turning points where history could have been different.
154
The best chance we have of being successful is to not slip up and keep working hard to get three points on the board.
155
156
My own position is, that it is largely up to the work itself to suggest the nature of these referential points without dimensions in and through the processes by which the distance between them is maintained.
157
158
I’ve always been such a loser with my organisation skills. That has always been one of my sad stand-out points.
159
160
161
Those who have heard or read anything from me on the subject, know that one of the principal points insisted on is, the forming of societies or any other artificial combinations IS the first, greatest, and most fatal mistake ever committed by legislators and by reformers.
162
163
Access to water is an animal welfare issue, yet, unfortunately, governments still make it difficult and costly to obtain water licences and approvals to build and develop new water points.
164
165
All mathematics is is a language that is well tuned, finely honed, to describe patterns; be it patterns in a star, which has five points that are regularly arranged, be it patterns in numbers like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 that follow very regular progression.
166
If you stop and think about our history, one of the reasons we had an American century and there is an American dream was because at key points in our history we made very bold decisions about making sure that there was very broad, universal access to quality education.
167
168
While the line between stress, deep anxiety, and depression often blurs, most entrepreneurs struggle with broad mental health issues at various points in their lives.
169
170
171
If you know where you stand, and your minus and plus points as a director or as a human being, you will never go wrong. You will always be successful.
172
What makes something tragic is that it could’ve been averted at multiple points.
173
Two points that are very important points to remember and ask: Is it real and does it work?
174
175
When you have two-thirds of possession in any match you have got to turn that pressure into points.
176
It is not true that Pena is 20 points above me. It’s part of the management of the regime. They have control of the media, with few exceptions.
177
The past four years at St. John’s University have been one of the most thrilling and challenging points of my career.
178
Scoring a lot of points is great when you win, but when you lose it doesn’t matter.
179
I became quite taken over by Johnson‘s personality at some points while writing the biography, and since I went straight on to The Closed Circle afterwards, I did sometimes feel I could hear him whispering in my ear while I was working on it.
180
If Scott Brown can win in a state that President Obama won by 26 points, I can win in a district that Obey won by just 20 points against an unknown, underfunded challenger in the Democratic landslide of 2008. It means there is not a single Democrat in the country who is safe.
181
182
What I would pay much more attention to are the few points where the player can inadvertently make a career decision. Most players end up back-tracking, though some actually enjoy this.
183
You can’t score if you’re turning it over. It’s like a punt. If you go out and you punt 12 times, you’re not scoring points. That’s not good. So, when you turn the ball over and throw interceptions, you’re giving the other team more opportunities and your team less opportunities.
184
‘I’ is the word everyone uses to refer to themselves. On the one hand, it points to a specific person, but it’s also this blank space that you can insert yourself into; it’s a chute into empathy.
185
Political corruption is endemic all over this country, in some places worse than others, right? On crime, you have all the major American cities where the crime rates at different points in their histories, have spiked dramatically.
186
187
Every city across the country that has successfully renewed and revitalized itself points to a robust education system as its fundamental key to success.
188
189
In discussing the process with the actors, I made it clear to them that they could improvise but that the sum total of their improvisation needed to impart certain plot points, and schematic material.
190
We have more voices from more points of view on the C-SPAN call-in show than I’ve heard anywhere else. You can literally tune us in every day and hear it all. You can’t control it, and you shouldn’t control it.
191
192
193
You can’t rush the science, but when the science points you in the right direction, then you can start rushing.
194
And the Republican Party especially associates the market with the idea of progress, goodness, family, and points us toward the mall as an answer to all our personal dreams.
195
I think if ‘The Narrow Road To The Deep North’ is one of the high points of Japanese culture, then the experience of my father, who was a slave laborer on the Death Railway, represents one of its low points.
196
197
198
The bottom line is we need to score points, and we need to score a lot of them.
199
200
Let’s say there are things about ‘G.I. Joe‘ that you specifically expect and some things that need to be in the film at certain points, whether it be relationships or certain costume aspects.
201
An important part of my job is listening to diverse points of view at all levels – from Millennials starting their careers… to women at the highest levels of leadership… to my own wife and daughter.
202
At some points, hope was the only thing I had. When I began my journey toward walking again, I clung to hope like a life raft.
203
People say, ‘When are you going to do serious stuff?’ I look at them as though they were crazy. My serious stuff is my comedy. That’s how I make my points.
204
205
Being a Jew is like walking in the wind or swimming: you are touched at all points and conscious everywhere.
206
207
208
Yes, it is always good to contribute, but the most important thing is where we finish on the points table. That is more important to me than how many runs I score.
209
When I start a new novel, I often write ‘test chapters‘ in different tenses and from different points of view in order to figure out which is best to tell the tale.
210
If you’re serving, you still have to be prepared in a regular game, but especially when it comes to the tiebreaks. They can change on one or two points.
211
212
Any time a team doesn’t score points, it’s on me.
213
214
I also learned to play Fruit Ninja on an iPad. It is quite hypnotic, and I hope one day to get past 100 points. I remembered that David Cameron admits to being an addict. I wonder if it helps him in his work. ‘Great, just destroyed a pineapple! Reminds me, shall we send those grenades to the Syrian rebels?’
215
216
I have insecurities of course, but I don’t hang out with anyone who points them out to me.
217
Perspective is worth 80 IQ points.
218
219
With writing, you really have to have faith. You have to have some sort of confidence that if you keep at it, you will get where you need to go, because there are so many points where a rational person would quit.
220
221
True science is never speculative; it employs hypotheses as suggesting points for inquiry, but it never adopts the hypotheses as though they were demonstrated propositions.
222
Tim Hardaway Jr., Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis and myself – those are four guys that can score 25 points per game.
223
The problem with themes is that writers don’t realise they are themes until someone points them out.
224
As a teenager growing up in the suburbs of Washington, I ritually watched the Sunday-morning political talk shows with my family. We parsed and argued and jeered at the screen as national figures delivered careful, poll-tested talking points.
225
I tend to gravitate toward people who are a bit more eccentric and creative and artistic in some ways. And I like bringing disparate kinds of creative people together to create some great work, even to share points of view on a new direction.
226
227
228
First of all, the Jewish religion has a great deal in common with the Christian religion because, as Rabbi Gillman points out in the show, Christianity is based on Judaism. Christ was Jewish.
229
Before any American points a finger at President Putin and calls him nasty names, they should recognize that a lot of Americans agree with Putin on his stance against homosexual and transgender people.
230
In Chinese culture, it wouldn’t occur to kids to question or talk back to their parents. In American culture, kids in books, TV shows and movies constantly score points with their snappy back talk. Typically, it’s the parents who need to be taught a life lesson – by their children.
231
I have more respect for somebody who points at his ideal – in this case, the ideal of the pirate – and then becomes something that’s more radical, more exciting, more subversive than a pirate could ever be.
232
I try to use my debit card rather than a credit card, but I will use a credit card for big purchases because I bank with Coutts and I get points.
233
I have the comedic chops and intelligence to raise points and discuss both sides of whatever is on our mind as a society.
234
235
Now, whether my not asking for good things to happen to me is subconsciously intended to win me brownie points with God is something I can’t answer. But I do feel the need to give thanks and also not to feel hypocritical by asking for things when I have doubts that God would answer me.
236
I am not a monetarist, and I am not a Keynesian. On certain points I agree with each.
237
238
239
Despite a good season and 22 points, I’ll not drive any more for Toro Rosso in 2015.
240
241
From where started, I think it is too far down to try and win a championship at the end of the season, although we had a very good first race at Mondello and scored some good points.
242
‘Babel‘ is about the point of view of others. It literally includes points of views as experienced from the other side. It is not about a hero. It is not about only one country. It is a prism that allows us to see the same reality from different angles.
243
244
I think a good story can do as much as a novel; not the exact same thing, of course, but just as much artistically. They’re different beasts, but to tackle an expansive country like the United States, you’re either going to write a big novel, or go in to various points on the map and write stories or poems.
245
As players at Bayern, we’re not interested in any boredom – we’re interested in picking up three points each game.
246
If you can qualify on the pole or in the front, you have a better chance of getting five points for leading a lap or leading the most laps.
247
When you’re governor, you’ve got to step up to the plate; you’ve got to make a proposal for a balanced budget. That’s the requirement. And then you’ve got to sit down and negotiate if the folks that you need to work with disagree with you on points.
248
249
250
251
When I was little, I didn’t smile much. Don’t get me wrong. I was a happy kid, but I couldn’t stand the space, dead center, in between my teeth. Yeah, I could whistle through it, but so what? That didn’t win me many points on the playground in Medfield, Massachusetts.
252
But just maybe sometimes being even more patient. Even though I thought I did that much better this year, and sometimes, you know, make my opponents play that one extra ball, and just knowing how to play the big points better.
253
254
255
256
In other words the pictures are in a kind of relationship with each other which is touching only at points rather than pictures being illustrations of poems or poems extrapolations of the pictures.
257
258
I love telling stories; I always have, and I think women need to be more proactive about telling their own stories and sharing their points of view.
259
260
261
In television, we are fortunate because we get to try a lot of things; we get to take a lot of shots. It gives us a great opportunity to tell many different stories from diverse points of view.
262
263
I was always used to being centre stage – something that had its good and bad points.
264
265
In the pros, tennis is all about individuals. In college, it’s getting individuals to make points for the team.
266
With my earlier books, I got quite bored being with one protagonist all the way through. With the Alex Morrow books, I wanted to do something a bit more holistic, so there were lots of different points of view, and I wanted to look at aspects of crime that you don’t tend to look at.
267
268
The Black Lives Matter National Network and the movement at large are sophisticated. We’re not easily won over by talking points and campaign trail pledges. We want to see meaningful collaboration and a genuine transformation of American democracy.
269
270
I won four world titles, got beat twice – but avenged one of those losses – and the other loss was on points to someone who was unbeaten in Andre Ward. I had a comfortable, successful career and it wasn’t through natural ability but through dedication and hard work.
271
Our points of reference in America aren’t steeped in literature; they’re steeped in that five minutes between commercials.
272
There are many crooked lines and one straight line. Which is the line of truth? Why the straight line? Truth is always the shortest distance between two points.
273
274
The shortest distance between two points is under construction.
275
276
There will be certain points of time when everything collides together and reaches critical mass around a new concept or a new thing that ends up being hugely relevant to a high percentage of people or businesses. But it’s really really hard to predict those. I don’t believe anyone can.
277
I have had a few turning points, the first day I entered a gymnastics school at age 6.
278
279
280
Each game, we try to win the three points, but every game, I want to score and help the team.
281
Experts always know everything but the fine points. When I took my citizenship exams, no one there knew how the White House came to be called the White House.
282
Performing King Charles in Mike Bartlett’s astonishing play in London and New York has been one of the high points of my career.
283
In order to know the true situation of a Planet at any particular time, the small set of balls are to be put each on its respective axis; then the winch to be turned round until each index points to the given time.
284
It’s one of my stronger points claiming high balls. I’m tall, so that helps me. If you’re a smaller goalkeeper, crosses in England are even harder.
285
Sometimes you meet characters at certain points in your life and have a connection with them.
286
I make it a habit of never trying to judge what an audience might think, only because all points of view are too close, because we’re doing it every day, I think that the actor’s point of view is sometimes too close to what the material actually is.
287
288
289
There are so many low points with stand-up. You are perpetually humiliated, so it doesn’t really matter anymore. I don’t have any dignity left to lose. An audience can’t hurt you anymore when you’ve been completely dismantled.
290
One of the main points everywhere in my life is fairness. Coming from South Africa and being treated unfairly all your life because of your skin colour, that’s been a huge point.
291
If you are ever on stage, and it feels as though the audience is not laughing at the right points or are not quite as engaged as you’d hope, you have to remember there is always somebody who might be falling in love with this world and having an epiphany. I was that person.
292
293
To read the report of a discussion in which arguments for and against are presented, in which a subject has been covered from different points of view, with new ideas advanced – this is far more instructive than to read a brief account of the resolution passed on the matter.
294
295
There’s something to be said for writing in the morning. At other points in the day, you’re a bit more defensive.
296
297
I know what I want to achieve in each book and the major points, but I don’t plan right down to the chapters. I think that the characters write themselves in some degree.
298
What appeals to me? There are things, points of view, uses of the language, habits of dress, ways of thought and believing that came to me from my grandparents and came to them from theirs. Things that are of good use in any situation, no matter what the future may hold.
299
Having been through some adversity, starting from different points and having to work through the depth chart on many occasions, it’s definitely helped my story.
300
One day I’d have 20 points, the next day two points. I was dribbling the ball off my leg. I couldn’t understand why. The media started asking me, ‘Is this because you are a new dad?’ I didn’t want to blame my son. There are plenty of people in much worse situations, and they make it work. I have to do that, too.
301
302
It is the growth of advertising in this country which, more than any single element, has brought the American magazine to its present enviable position in points of literary, illustrative and mechanical excellence.
303
304
305
I’m a populist. I’m the people’s designer… It’s important that there are price points that allow people in who maybe don’t have the ability to have higher-ticket items – but they can still have something very emblematic of the collection.
306
307
People can voice their different points of view. We are also a country where there will be criticism.
308
309
One shouldn’t ever be conscious of the author as lecturer. When social or moral points are too heavily stressed, I always get uncomfortable.
310
311
Women’s particular experiences continue to shape not just their points of view but their actions, in the United States and around the world.
312
Although when I start a novel I know how it will begin and end, I like to let the people within the story take me on a journey between those points without having a fixed plan.
313
314
315
316
There’s been an incredible censorship in America and throughout the world, but particularly in America where students aren’t even allowed to critically think about evolution, the issue of origins; they are not allowed to hear other points of view; they are taught incorrectly about science and taught that evolution is fact.
317
If we go and see hundreds of different market resources, you are seeing hundreds of different points of view, and once in a while, my experience is, you will come across one or two that are just outstanding, and you never would have thought of them.
318
319
There were points I wanted to stop acting. We got so busy and didn’t get to see our friends a lot, and I was like, ‘Wow, I’m kind of over this.’ But then we started really having fun on ‘The Suite Life.’
320
I came to New York and started doing stand-up and improv, and started auditioning for commercials and voiceovers and stuff. My first job was on a pilot of that prank show called ‘Boiling Points’ on MTV.
321
That’s the purpose of creative stuff: when you really love what you do, you have to know at some point, or points, you’re not going to be good at it. That’s just the process of learning. I can edit it and try to be as perfect as I can, but I’m still going to have my vulnerable spots and my weaknesses.
322
When I storyboard, they’re just fragments of thoughts. I write in three acts like a movie, so I have my plot points up on the preliminary storyboard.
323
Between 2018 and 2020, I contemplated giving up the sport at various points.
324
325
326
327
At some points, I wanted to quit. There were surgeries after surgeries, and I didn’t really believe in myself. I didn’t feel good about my body.
328
329
There was a strong focus on performance and respect for people. And one of the points that my father always made was that with all the challenges and obstacles and barriers, the one thing you can control is your performance. And that is one thing I have tried to adhere to throughout my career.
330
If we sit here and think about what other teams are doing and the points game and all that, we’re going to go crazy, and it’s not going to help our game.
331
332
333
334
There’s a rumour going ’round that if you amass a certain number of penalty points on your driving licence, the authorities will make you take your test again! Now, if ever there was an incentive to drive carefully, they could not have threatened a more terrifying ordeal.
335
We can’t be anti-everything – we need an energy plan that adds up. But there’s a lack of numeracy in the public discussion of energy. Where people do use numbers, they select them to sound big and score points in arguments, rather than to aid thoughtful discussion.
336
337
A traditional presidential campaign has a media bus with the candidate’s name on it and an itinerary days in advance. Trump has a plane with his name on it (that we aren’t invited on) and an itinerary that often mutates daily, along with his talking points.
338
I think there’s always merit in getting out of our ideological silos and being exposed to points of view with which we don’t always agree.
339
Looking at the world from other species‘ points of view is a cure for the disease of human self-importance. You suddenly realize that consciousness – which we value and we consider the crowning achievement of nature, human consciousness – is really just another set of tools for getting along in the world.
340
At different points in my life, I had grappled with the idea of going into the priesthood – in high school or law school. Where it ends, I’m not quite sure. Perhaps it ends with death, grappling with one’s spirituality.
341
The pleasantly crude ‘Hall Pass’ reminds us of what’s been missing from movies: Those squirm-inducing moments in comedy that produce enough discomfort that, at points, what we’re watching is half a heartbeat away from a horror film.
342
The cool thing about designers is they have very specific points of view, and because my inspiration is always changing, it’s easy to go, ‘This feels right.’ But just because I wear fancy dresses on weekends doesn’t mean in my heart of hearts I’m not a jeans and T-shirt person.
343
Friendship can only exist between persons with similar interests and points of view. Man and woman by the conventions of society are born with different interests and different points of view.
344
You’re doing yourself a disservice if you’re not building your roster and your team to give yourself a legitimate chance to score 21 points.
345
346
347
I really think that music itself, being one of the greatest possible vehicles for mass communication, should be probed to its extremes, to see how effective it can actually become, which is one of the reasons why I became also interested in presenting political points of view.
348
Diverse groups do best at complex problems and innovation when the facts aren’t clear: each individual‘s perspective allows him or her to tackle challenges differently and, when stuck, rely on others’ differing points of views to progress.
349
Nerve cells communicate with one another at specialized points called synapses. And these synapses are plastic – they can be modified by learning.
350
I don’t take a stance to score political points. That’s not what I’m about. That’s not why the people hired me. If I do take a stand on something, it’s because I’ve thoroughly researched it.
351
It is amazing to hear grown-up people rationalize homophobia and discrimination. The lengths they go to trying to prove their points take reason to its breaking point.
352
353
I think, as competitors, you always wanted to try and gain an advantage, and you have that opportunity to go out and grab those bonus points and gain as many as you can throughout the year.
354
Sometimes films ignore other points of view because it’s simpler to tell the story that way, but the more genuine and sympathetic you are to different points of view and situations, the more real the story is.
355
The dark energy is not exactly zero, but the first 122 decimal points are zero. That’s crazy. That is really one of the craziest things we’ve ever discovered.
356
The train’s always full of football fans going up to see matches. Oh, they make sure I hear their points of view all right. They all want to have their say about their team, and make their opinions known.
357
We’ve done a lot of research on the characteristics of our teachers who are the most successful. The most predictive trait is still past demonstrated achievement, and all selection research basically points to that.
358
All I can ever hope to be to my son is someone who’s supportive, someone who listens and understands and points out possible other ways of thinking, ways of feeling, ways of approaching things, suggests rather than demands.
359
Our national prosperity is built on our open borders. However, the reality is that if a points system is introduced in the UK it would be unavoidable for us in the Netherlands to implement similar proposals – and inevitable that many other EU countries would follow suit.
360
I’ve seen a therapist at different points in my life for different reasons.
361
362
I think that I am lucky and blessed to have the job that I have, and I am trying to create longevity. If that means that I transition into different things at different points in my life, then that’s fine. I also believe that if doors don’t open, make new doors, so I’ve also started producing quite a bit of things.
363
364
365
I’ve learned that I can be calm during important points.
366
People negotiate their way around how a human mind works and find blind points. That’s how people steal effectively.
367
All knowledge of cultural reality, as may be seen, is always knowledge from particular points of view.
368
My brother‘s my best friend, without a doubt. Me and my big sister get along so well. She moved to East London, though, so points off, but she’s wicked. And then my little sister is a little genius. She’s super talented and such a great person, always been far more mature and cool than me.
369
370
371
To even get to the Olympics, I have to qualify for the 2013 World Championships and the standard is high. I know I am always going to be a few points behind the top guys.
372
Tolerance, openness to argument, openness to self-doubt, willingness to see other people’s points of view – these are very liberal and enlightened values that people are right to hold, but we can’t allow them to delude us to the point where we can’t recognise people who are needlessly perpetrating human misery.
373
Snowden and NSA leaders should be brought together face-to-face for questioning in public by a congressional investigatory committee, with both parties allowed to make their points and to counter the assertions of the other. If Snowden is lying, it will come out. If the NSA is lying, it will come out.
374
Everybody points their finger at me and says that I’m the crazy guy and this thug.
375
Faulkner‘s ‘As I Lay Dying’ had an immense effect on me, and most of my novels bear the burn marks of this experience, those short chapters with their conflicting points of view, truth expressed by multiple perspectives. The other attractive thing about ‘As I Lay Dying’ was the way it gave rich voices to the poor.
376
For us, it’s about winning. How do you do that? You score more points than the other team.
377
378
379
380
381
382
I never consciously choose what I’m going to work on next; I don’t have an agenda beyond that attraction. Fortunately, my wonderful agent, Christopher Schelling, knows how I think and points me toward things I might like, which is how I started writing Y.A.
383
384
There are two methods for the literary study of any book – the first being the study of its thought and emotion; the second only that of its workmanship. A student of literature should study some of the Bible from both points of view.
385
I’m more than comfortable just sitting back and scoring 21, 22 points or whatever and getting 10, 11 assists whatever the case might be. More than comfortable with that. It’s just a matter of the pieces that you have around you and what you can do to elevate everybody else.
386
One day, I’d like to get a quadruple double, points, assists, rebounds and blocks.
387
Liberals need to take the advice they routinely give to conservatives: that there are consequences to their divisive rhetoric, and that in their attempts to score political points, they are also inciting violence.
388
We think that we know people from this constellation of points: ‘I know that story. I know that girl. I’ve heard that story a thousand times.’ But actually, you never know that story.
389
Conservative humor is frankly harder than liberal humor. You get points for just being liberal. You can get more points if you make fun of your own side sometimes.
390
When I won the Tony, I blacked out. I don’t remember anything. I had bullet points jotted down, but I forgot to read half of them. My hands were shaking. It was an insane honor to be recognized in that way.
391
Just like you have fire regulations, they should have regulations that no building would be made without charging points for electric vehicles.
392
393
394
When you go into the other guy’s backyard you cannot hope to win on points.
395
396
It was important to score points today and I went for them with my guts.
397
I like writing about big turning points, where professional and personal lives coalesce, where the boundaries are coming down, and you’re faced with a set of choices which will change life forever.
398
I can score 20 points if I want to, but that’s not my desire.
399
At my age, I’m not trying to score cool points. I’m just excited when I can speak to younger members of our audience in the WWE. I just get to be a superhero to kids, but I’m not trying to be on the cutting edge of style or anything like that. Once you reach that point of deprivation, you don’t mind it.
400
Every goal is a nice goal, great feeling, but the most important thing is we grab the three points and give the fans a nice afternoon.
401
Just try to focus one game at a time, not worry about points or anything like that. Worry about playing the right way and see what comes of it.
402
403
I will keep America moving forward, always forward, for a better America, for an endless enduring dream and a thousand Points of Light. This is my mission, and I will complete it.
404
Things have got to add up to 100 points. The script is part of it, the character is part of it, the people I’m working with is the third part of it – and any combination of the three has got to add up to 100 points.
405
406
407
408
When I went to AC Milan, they were four points away from the relegation zone, and by the end of the season, we were just one goal away from being in the Europa League.
409
410
We’re all fascinated by the numbers, as we were about the 100 points.
411
On style points alone, Donald Trump makes GWB look magnificently presidential.
412
My life is one long curve, full of turning points.
413
All my career, I’ve said this: Critics and producers think audiences want actors that only present the silhouette and hit the points in the silhouette. What I do is too dangerous.
414
What makes a lot of suspenseful films work is very, very particular points of view and very subjective use of the camera.
415
416
English people are famous for never speaking out but only saying what they really feel about you behind your back. Americans believe the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. I like exploring those, er, differences in national snippiness.
417
418
419
For me, some of the key points of drag are knowing who you are, how you want to go about making people happy with your art, and why you’re doing what you’re doing.
420
Writing a really general parser is a major but different undertaking, by far the hardest points being sensitivity to context and resolution of ambiguity.
421
422
I decide to go direct to Key West… I know the place quite well, and it’s near the points in Florida that I wish to visit. I have an idea at present of doing some work but do not know how long that will last.
423
If Hillary Clinton had been president, we’d have had a false sense of security. Trump has brought everything to the light – racism, homophobia. It’s one of our darkest points, because we should know better.
424
425
426
There’s no room for being disappointed or for excuses, ‘Oh, I had four match points.’
427
This is the difficulty with not picking up points away from home: the home games become that much more critical.
428
429
If you play bad, you can win the games, but you have to play good and get the three points.
430
431
432
433
The New Testament is of full authority and open to the understanding of simple men as to the points most needful to salvation.
434
I would have thought it possible to choose delegates for these larger conferences who, even if they could not speak the principal languages, could at least understand them or could have friends seated beside them who could keep them informed on essential points.
435
Every existence above a certain rank has its singular points; the higher the rank the more of them. At these points, influences whose physical magnitude is too small to be taken account of by a finite being may produce results of the greatest importance.
436
The joy of hate reflects people who get off pretending to hate something, or hate you, in order to score political points. I call them the ‘tolerati’ – you know, a group of people who claim to be tolerant, except when they run into someone who disagrees with them.
437
To score points, you need a lot of consistent effort over the course of the game. If you’re throwing it or running it in, it’s not a big difference in terms of the score at all, obviously. But turnovers limit your scoring. That’s the problem with turnovers.
438
Both parties are so entrenched in their ideologies and a desire to score political points and hold on to power that we never seem to agree on a problem, much less find solutions.
439
440
Playing in the OHL, people expect you to get a ton of points. When you go out and have a good game it’s almost like people expect that out of you.
441
Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.
442
Statistically, the teams are getting the chunk plays – the explosives – are the teams that are going produce more yards and more points.
443
My readers often tell me that what they admire about my books is my ability to write from so many points of view. My challenge to myself is whether I’ll ever be able to write a novel just from one point of view. It seems impossible.
444
If I hadn’t won at the Worlds and claimed so many ranking points, I would have been struggling for Rio. I’m in a good place now, though, and having the chance to fight for gold in Rio after everything I’ve been through would be a dream.
445
I feel flattered that people like the way I look, but it doesn’t help you win points.
446
447
448
Being surrounded by diverse points of view pushes us beyond our comfort zones. And when people and teams bring multiple perspectives and experiences to the table, the discussions are deeper, the decision-making process is better, and the solutions are stronger.
449
By the time Sonic Youth formed in 1981, my musical tastes had left the Dead behind, but I was always very proud of the fact that we had three different singers singing individually from different points of view, like the Dead.
450
I never give anyone advice: it can backfire horribly. In the 1950s, Eric Morecambe told Ken Dodd to get his teeth fixed. But those teeth turned out to be one of Dodd’s big selling points.
451
When I’m out hustling up new industries, I can offer Louisiana‘s many selling points. We have unmatched natural resources, a unique culture and fantastic workers.
452
453
Suspense films are often based on communication problems, and that affects all of the plot points. It almost gives it kind of a fable feeling.
454
455
456
457
There is so much of good in human nature that men grow to like each other upon better acquaintance, and this points to another way in which we may strive to promote the peace of the world.
458
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
459
Songwriting‘s a weird game. I never intended to become one – I fell into this by mistake, and I can’t get out of it. It fascinates me. I like to point out the rawer points of life.
460
With the polarization of points of view around significant political and social issues, sports is a place where people can sort of talk about something together. And I think that is important to people.
461
I want ABC to be a fantastic home for creative, talented people with unique points of view and personal stories to tell and for us to be able to support them in bringing their ideas to the screen.
462
463
There is still a lot of misinformation being spread about higher education funding arrangements under the new Act. The students page on my website sets out the main points in the Act.
464
Biodiversity starts in the distant past and it points toward the future.
465
Being blonde means people decide on sight that you are much prettier and nicer than you really are, just as Americans automatically add 10 points to someone’s IQ when they hear an English accent. Fact.
466
467
468
469
Well, I don’t really eat cereal that much because on Weight Watchers it’s not worth the points.
470
Evolving technologies that allow economists to gather new types of data and to manipulate millions of data points are just one factor among several that are likely to transform the field in coming years.
471
My background is in musical comedy. I didn’t know I was going to be an actor. But all my points of reference have to do with musical comedy and in being kind of a showoff.
472
I believe very strongly in the value of having a diverse team around me that comes from very different backgrounds and different points of view.
473
Despite tantalizing suggestions of fossilized microbes in meteorites, puzzling and possibly biogenic methane gas in the martian atmosphere, and a long-standing controversy over the Viking lander experiments of nearly 40 years ago, there’s still no Exhibit A that points unequivocally to biology in our own back yard.
474
475
I’m going to win or lose a match playing on my terms, playing my game, which is big and aggressive and trying to dictate points. Not shying away from that.
476
At home is where you have to be stronger and get more points and make the other team feel uncomfortable.
477
The day is not far distant when three Stars and Stripes at three equidistant points will mark our territory: one at the North Pole, another at the Panama Canal, and the third at the South Pole. The whole hemisphere will be ours in fact as, by virtue of our superiority of race, it already is ours morally.
478
479
I think there’s so many points of view that you want to make sure your stories are being told from men and women… you get all of the different backgrounds. You don’t want every story being told from the same point of view. So just for better storytelling, I’m like, ‘Yes, please, bring some more ladies on.’
480
My friend created an iPhone app that locates Vienna Beef products across the country. Personally, I came hardwired with an internal GPS that instinctively points me toward coffee shops, cupcake stores and the perfect Chicago-style dog, so I find this technology redundant.
481
482
I die really well, by the way. It’s one of my strong points. I just take a bullet well.
483
It’s good when you’re getting points – you’re obviously feeling confident.
484
When we engage people across ideological divides, asking questions helps us map the disconnect between our differing points of view.
485
486
I’ve been privileged to be able to be a part of some of my girlfriends‘ lives at their breaking points.
487
President Trump rightly points out that law enforcement is mostly made up of good people putting themselves in harm‘s way to protect us. He lauds the men and women in blue and often talks about the need to make it easier for the cops to do their jobs.
488
489
The world is getting smaller. And people are bumping up against people from different parts of the world with very different points of view. The challenge of our time is going to be, how do you allow other points of view to exist within what you traditionally see as your world?
490
I don’t like sports where it’s like, you watch a guy on a motorcycle flip or something, then another guy does it, it looks exactly the same, and then at the end one guy gets higher points! It seems so arbitrary; I don’t know who’s ahead ever.
491
492
When you are going for every trophy, it is always good to have as many points as early as possible in the Champions League, and then you can concentrate on the league and the Carling Cup.
493
The main points were: one, the amount of Israel’s nuclear weapons, how many Israel had, that no one could predict or know, including the CIA. They were thinking about a number like 10 or 15. But I came out with a number between 150 to 200.
494
495
You may score 50 points and grab 40 rebounds and have 30 assists, but if I don’t make the free throws at the end of the game, and we lose, does that make you not a champion?
496
I feel like I’m an actor that likes to have lots of points of connection.
497
The campaigns of Steve Forbes, Pat Buchanan, Ross Perot, and John McCain all outperformed expectations on their support from independent voters. They made no effort to shy away from ideology, but conveyed to voters that their policies were driven by principle, not party talking points.
498
Consistency of performance is essential. You don’t have to be exceptional every week but as a minimum you need to be at a level that even on a bad day you get points on the board.
499
They scored 26 points in three quarters. That’s solid defense.
500
A lot of people are very interested that a Korean director has made a western. But when I look at the reactions of the audience, I realise the points at which people laugh are the same for a Korean audience and an international audience.
501
The American people are smart. They’ve gotten sick of the predictable hyperpartisan talking points and canned anger.
502
You know, if you’re at home with children, you lose twenty-five IQ points.
503
504
You can’t give away points and games against someone like Murray. You’re not going to make it to the top with that kind of effort.
505
If you look at what these politicians do when they speak, most of the time they are trying to convey a tone… if I make all these points and move my hands this way, I can get re-elected. When in reality, they aren’t saying anything.
506
507
508
509
As wrestlers, we’re not trying to hurt or damage physically our opponent. All we’re trying to do is score points and get our hands raised, so I think that’s where we differ from the UFC, but I think that also the way in which we could address each other could be cool from a competitive spirit.
510
511
512
513
I say I write extrapolations. I look at data points and ask what the world could look like.
514
While in the early days of networks, growth was limited by slowness and cost at numerous points – expensive telephone connections, computers that crashed, browsers that didn’t work – the rise of the smartphone has essentially changed all that.
515
516
517
518
I’ve lived this very dramatic life, with high points and terrible low points. Nothing has been ordinary, and I want to have the experience of the last breath. I want a little drama to it.
519
I have personal beliefs and they are sometimes reflected in the movies I make, but I also reflect other points of view.
520
I don’t really care how many yards I throw for; as long as we score more points than the guys we’re playing.
521
522
A person who can go out and get 40 is going to get a lot more respect than somebody who goes out and holds somebody to two points. It’s just the nature of the game. It doesn’t bother me.
523
524
Don’t listen to the prevailing majority points of view. If you have new ideas, push them.
525
‘The Underland Chronicles’ is an unnecessary war for a very long time until it becomes a necessary war, because there have been all these points where people could have gotten off the train but they didn’t; they just kept moving the violence forward until it’s gone out of control.
526
Sound quality was supposed to be one of the big selling points for CDs but, as we know, it wasn’t very good at all. It was just another con, a get-rich-quick scheme, a monumental hoax perpetrated on the music consuming public.
527
I don’t listen to my songs. The only time I do it is when someone points out a flaw in the end product.
528
The intelligence investigation under the leadership of Senator Church, which I know has helped cause this investigation by you, points out that the agencies did not disclose certain facts to us and that certain plots were going on.
529
Whenever you put a family together, they may share some points of views and morals, but there are going to be differences.
530
531
When you take stock, there are so many more choices and points of view that are necessary.
532
I feel like I’m dreaming. 10,000 points in the NBA. It’s crazy.
533
We cannot allow religious hooligans to place limiting points on thought.
534
People have different points of view and different opinions, and they struggle themselves with change.
535
I really am opinionated, but not for long. I have found myself coming off of what I think of something because the guy I’m talking to makes better sense than I am. I have so many points of view, I can’t keep track of ’em, because I talk to too many people… I’m not so opinionated that I won’t budge.
536
Too often, real policy improvements get drowned out by political talking points.
537
I try to speak my points of view about black America, and how I feel about black men and the role that black men should play in their lives with their children and in their lives with their women.
538
I want to look at this character from all points of view. I know I don’t want to make them all good or all bad or all anything… the story itself often helps create the character.
539
540
One of the points about distractions is that everything that they do is destabilizing.
541
Don’t try to kid yourself that your game is about pace if it isn’t. If you’re a big guy like me you need to look at how similarly built players use that physical presence to influence a game. Accept that your build may have some limitations – but plenty of plus points too.
542
543
544
The one-handed backhand helps you to be more aggressive in the points.
545
546
There’s a dangerous bottom-lining, and super-summarizing that happens in a lot of our press and our media, and sort of our politicians’ talking points, that’s dangerously simple. I don’t know a better way to say it. And there’s usually a lot more complicated facts going on than what is quoted and quotable.
547
The line that describes the beautiful is elliptical. It has simplicity and constant change. It cannot be described by a compass, and it changes direction at every one of its points.
548
There’s no reason why fiscal responsibility is a Democrat or a Republican point of view. It ought to be all of our points of view.
549
International Women’s Day means many things to many people. Officially, it is ‘a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.’ These are important points that deserve to be called out – so we all remember their significance.
550
551
One of the most beautiful things about ‘Game of Thrones’ is it’s told from so many different points of view, and these characters can convince you that what they’re doing is right. But they’re only showing you a bit of the picture, and when you see it from another character’s point of view you may switch allegiances.
552
553
I really do not think about ‘Oh, right now I have to defend those points and this title.’ I just really want to enjoy playing on the court, in front of the fans.
554
My job is to protect the football and score points and lead this offense on drives to score points.
555
556
557
I would like beautiful gymnastics to be recognized as the best. I want the judges to appreciate things that are not necessarily winning points.
558
559
We’re called conspiracy theorists because we see this cabal right in front of us. We’re able to aggregate these data points and show what was really going on.
560
561
562
We’ve seen how grassroots journalism by blogs has had an impact at various points politically, as ordinary people have amplified stories that were being ignored by the traditional press.
563
I can’t make pronouncements about the entirety of Iranian cinema, because there’s such a great number of filmmakers and because of the diversity of points of view and filmmaking attitudes.
564
Life doesn’t come in plot points or setups and payoffs. Life washes over you and passes.
565
The fact is most computer roleplaying games that offer a zillion highly specialized skills end up with nine-tenths of a zillion skills that every player quickly realizes aren’t worth the experience points to buy.
566
I think that a movie can only be an adjunct or only a supplement to books, to different points of view, to scholars, historians and your own teachers.
567
Today there are two points where a car manufacturer has interaction with you as an owner of a car. One, you buy the car. Two, you go to the car shop to repair the car.
568
I like humor: the sort of gentle humor that points out human foibles.
569
Recreational shopping is the shortest distance between two points: you and broke.
570
571
572
573
Fess up, ‘Hunger Games‘ fans: Does anyone care about Peeta or find him attractive? He’s the Ron Weasley of the series: he gets points for callow valor and sympathy for his run of bad luck, but he remains a pasty, earnest bore.
574
I will argue my points; I will have my opinions. But at the end of the day, it’s the director’s choice.
575
Our goal is to focus on the unique points of view of our show creators but make shows that have broad appeal.
576
You always take a little bit back with you at the end of the day. I always put a little bit of myself into the characters, too. You find parallels, points of connection, things like that. But I’m not an actor who gets so incredibly haunted by my characters that I can’t come back.
577
If I were a high school coach, I would put my best players on offense. The best athletes on my team, I would give them the ball and score points. I wouldn’t play them on defense. I would play them where they can get the ball and score points.
578
579
There is no answer to the Pythagorean theorem. Well, there is an answer, but by the time you figure it out, I got 40 points, 10 rebounds and then we’re planning for the parade.
580
When the rules of judging skating in international competition changed in 2004 with the goal of making judging more transparent, one of the consequences was the rewarding of skaters who attempt more challenging technical elements in the pursuit of ever more points.
581
I’m a very observational type of comedian that points out everyday absurdities.
582
583
There were games I would score five and games I would score 30, and sometimes the five points were way more important than the 30.
584
585
586
587
588
We’ve all watched hundreds of movies from characters’ points of view that are not our own. That’s part of the gift movies give us.
589
I have to say it was a very good start, a very good first season. I enjoyed it a lot, scored good points and gained a lot of experience.
590
Reddit is a network where someone with a million karma points has an equal shot as someone with 10 karma points to hit the #1 post or comment.
591
There were a lot of points where I would start to come out, face stern resistance and mockery from people I thought were my friends, and then reverse course. I was scared. I don’t think I ever said, ‘I’m gay,’ or, ‘I’m trans.’ It was more like, ‘Is it normal for guys to crossdress a lot?’
592
I teach a lecture course on American poetry to as many as 150 students. For a lot of them, it’s their only elective, so this is their one shot. They’ll take the Russian Novel or American Poetry, so I want to give them the high points, the inescapable poets.
593
I’m probably the worst fantasy league player ever. I don’t really score that often, and I get booked quite a lot as well – when you get booked, you lose points.
594
Success was one of my weakest points. I was so ill-prepared for it. I never appreciated within myself the gift of success. I never accepted it. People gave me so much momentum and love, and people really got my music, but I didn’t accept it. That’s probably one of my biggest regrets.
595
John McCain felt very strongly about virtually every issue that he tackled, but it was never based in partisanship. He didn’t try to score partisan points as he worked on issues. He would work with anyone who wanted to accomplish the goal that he shared.
596
I don’t think people go to musicians for their political points of view. I think your political point of view is circumstances and then how you were nurtured and brought up.
597
Besides, it doesn’t make any sense to have these characters living in the year 3000 when all their points of reference are from the pop culture of the 80’s and the 90’s.
598
599
600
I use colors to bring fine points of story and character.
601
I just try and make the right play. It led to me leading the country in points and assists.
602
When a market isn’t in transition, gaining market share is hard – you’re fighting to take one or two points of share from competitors.
603
604
605
606
This is easy to say with the benefit of hindsight, but I think it once again points out how very important style of leadership, that is the way he does what he does, is to his perception.
607
There are huge pain points experienced by parents. It’s hard to find good child care options in one place. It’s hard figure out things to do with your kids on the weekends or after school. It’s hard to find iPad apps for your kids that you are confident are helping them learn vs. just being entertained.
608
609
As a Third World citizen, I always feel that I need to express my point of view. Sometimes the points of view of Third World countries are never expressed. We don’t have that possibility, sometimes, to spread what we feel and how we see things.
610
611
612
613
I’ve had the privilege of meeting and/or interviewing most of the top metal and hard rock artists at various points in my career and sharing their stories and music with millions of fans on air through TV and radio.
614
615
616
I was always given the comedy role, even in the ballet. I was the one who fell off her points, you know? I love doing comedy, and I love being in things that make people laugh.
617
One of the points in which I was especially interested was the Jim Crow regulations, that is, the system of separation of the races in street cars and railroad trains.
618
You don’t have time to think about things that aren’t as important as football and the points that are at stake in the games that we have to win and do well in.
619
Talking points are a core set of messages an executive or politician utilizes in communicating with stakeholders. It’s a term of art for having an outline of your remarks.
620
Jay-Z is as politically correct as some of the politicians. He’s safe. There’s points when you’re acquiring financing, you make adjustments. He’s made those adjustments. It’s his choice. For me, it’s not a necessity.
621
There’s obviously some validity to it. But I think it also points out that you obviously can do it on your own because people have been doing it long before they had the stuff.
622
What I’ve always tried to find in my books are points at which the private lives of the characters, and also my own, intersect with the public life of the culture.
623
624
625
I haven’t read a lot of science fiction, and I never intend to write it; it seems to happen a little bit inadvertently for me, in that I’m trying to follow people into points in their lives that demand that I investigate the future.
626
I had some great high points and thought: ‘This is fantastic. I’m going to be a huge star.’ Then something happens, and you can’t get a job to save your life.
627
We are a nation of communities… a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky.
628
Well firstly, that points certainly at the need for international standards on biometrics that would move in the same direction so that we can have the same technical requirements.
629
What’s different now is that while political leaders used to give talking points to talk radio, now talk-radio hosts are giving talking points to political leaders. It’s all part of the suffocating spin cycle we’re in. In media, politics and publishing, the conventional wisdom is to play to this base.
630
It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.
631
632
Analyses of the movie marketplace points to an interesting phenomenon: High-profile movies are continuing to do well year-to-year in the U.S. and overseas – this past summer, for example, the top 10 movies registered at the same level as in ’04.
633
I always put myself in the audience’s place and see if, as a viewer, I would want to see the film. If yes, then I want to know who’s directing it, what my character is, and if it’s impactful. If all these points fall in place, I’ll do the film. If not, then I won’t think twice before saying no.
634
The first award that I recall having received was in the form of a scholarship when I was studying in the 5th standard. I was granted this scholarship for achieving academic excellence, and it continues to be one of the high points in my life.
635
He knows nothing and thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.
636
A lot of guys are offensive minded, which is good at some points and times but bad at others – at lots of others. I wish I could say I want everybody to play defense as hard as I do. It’s not a reality.
637
I care about Bond and what happens to him. You cannot be connected with a character for this long and not have an interest. All the Bond films had their good points.
638
One of the main points about travelling is to develop in us a feeling of solidarity, of that oneness without which no better world is possible.
639
640
641
When I was a young player, I would look at players and think, he does this well, and try and pick up good points from them, or he conducts himself well, I’ll pick up on that.
642
When you build your network, keep yourself open to new ideas, concepts, and theories. Some of them may even contradict and challenge long-held points of view. This isn’t beneficial only to someone in my profession, but to every line of work.
643
In the Premier League the big clubs can lose and drop points. Games that are supposed to be easy are never easy.
644
I believe that at certain points in people’s lives they need assistance in order to move on to the next point in their life.
645
You got to want to evolve. It’s something you can practice on but it just came to me. I wasn’t really sitting there like, ‘What can I do to get better?’ It just came to me, talking to my people and my crew. They just tell me what my strongest and weakest points are at.
646
One of the things I learned in the military is sometimes you don’t know what mistakes you make for a long time. But as you go through a campaign, there’s lots of decision points you make, and you don’t know whether those are gonna be the right decision points or not.
647
Don’t be intimidated by people who seem to be experts. Hear their points of view and get their judgements. But at the end of day, you’ve got to make a judgement because it’s not their life that’s going to be affected so much as your future.
648
649
I’m a working journalist. I’m interested in all points of view, and I draw conclusions based on facts, not just on opinions.
650
Any time you can get the ball back to the offense and they put points on the board, you can win games.
651
Foreign policy exactly suits Obama’s strong points as a leader, which turn out not to be giving the masses a clear sense of direction and hope, but instead exercising good judgment on a case-by-case basis while thinking many steps ahead of the present moment.
652
Boredom is a very self-conscious emotion by definition. Interest is not. So you can actually be completely absorbed in something and, at certain points in your development, not even realize that you’re into it.
653
654
I’d never stop traveling, and I love bringing my family along with me. My children have points of reference everywhere, friends from Milan to Los Angeles. I think it’s really fun for them.
655
Let’s face it: dancing isn’t one of my strong points.
656
657
The tail of the comet always points straight away from the sun, in antisolar direction. Sometimes the tail trails behind, but sometimes it’s perpendicular, and sometimes it’s ahead of the comet like a headlight on a railroad locomotive.
658
I don’t believe in a golden mean; I don’t believe you find policy wisdom between two polar points. I don’t dismiss that possibility, but I look at the platform that’s so ideologically based, that’s so dismissive of facts, of evidence, of science, and it’s frankly hard to take seriously.
659
660
661
662
Astaire never thought of what he was doing as balletic, but Kelly was always trying to dance with women on points. And his choreography is so showy and flashy. He always looks self-satisfied to me.
663
I remember once Manchester United were ahead of Manchester City by eight points and ended up losing it, so everything is possible in this life.
664
665
I believe I am strong mentally. My breaking points might be bigger than most players. I think it’s because of the way I grew up with my two older brothers. They pushed my limits quite often – once every day, I think! I think that played a big role in my breaking point being bigger than most players. Not all players.
666
I have pride, and my pride won’t allow me to accept losing by 30 points four games in a row.
667
668
669
670
If you believe – which I do – that acting is a bit like advocacy for your character, then of course I want to find the positive points.
671
Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.
672
673
674
I kept my speeches short as captain. I focused on the key points of the opposition of the day. As coach, I was never afraid to give long speeches to the players throughout our preparations. It was important they had all the information possible.
675
I never saw my career as a journey with a beginning, middle, and end, with high points and low points. It is just a whole, big mass of experience, and I take each experience as it comes. I don’t strategise.
676
Science has not solved problems, only shifted the points of problems.
677
Maybe politically it wasn’t wise but when people have different view points I think the public has a right to hear it and the public has a right to make decisions based on those view points.
678
There’s been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that’s simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we’ve won when I score 10.
679
As a youngster, my mother and father always drilled into my head having something to fall back on. My father was kind of funny. I’d score 40 points. I’d come home and say, ‘Look dad, I scored 40.’ He’d never have a smile on his face. He’d be like, ‘I saw that move you did. What if you’d hurt your knee?’
680
681
Every game means something, the supporters are fantastic, and since I’ve come to Palace, I’ve learnt to fight as a team and for the three points.
682
683
I don’t care if it’s a Cole Porter song, or George Gershwin, or Lennon/McCartney, or Elton John, or you know, whoever, Bob Dylan. Great songs are great songs, and they stand the test of time, and they can be interpreted and recorded with many points of view, but yet still retain the essence of what makes them good songs.
684
685
It’s not about guys getting minutes or scoring 20 points or getting playing time. To me, it’s about if you’ve got to make one 3-pointer to win that championship, we need you to make that one 3-pointer. Whatever it takes.
686
Ultimately, the NRA has maybe five million members. We are a nation of 320 million-plus, and it’s time we call out those who stand on the wrong side of history and spout the same old NRA talking points.
687
It is in Virginia and Georgia that the war now rages and where it will continue; for at these points – Richmond and Atlanta – the enemy‘s main strength is concentrated.
688
It’s football. The game hasn’t changed. There’s not tons of new concepts every year that go in. Offense is offense; it’s our job to move the ball, to score points, and keep our defense off the field.
689
The World Championship gold was a surprise and took a lot of pressure off in terms of qualifying for Rio, but I still need more points, and winning in Manchester would be massive for me.
690
You need to keep having data points of progress, so even if an investor – and we’ve all had investors say no to us – there are times where you go back, and you keep them in the loop, and you keep telling them the progress and the perseverance you have.
691
I grabbed 19 rebounds in my first professional game, and somehow found a way to score 20 points. I felt real good about it. I felt that this was the beginning of something good.
692
At its best, what art does is, it points to who we as human beings and what we as human beings value. And if Black Lives Matter, they deserve to be in paintings.
693
The principal of unity and indivisibility of the republic are the essential reference points.
694
695
696
The distributor used to get 10, 12, 14 percent in most cases, but the App Store or Steam – they’re taking 30 points. So clearly, they’re viewing what they bring to the table in the digital environment to be more valuable than distribution.
697
I’d never really been in a series, where you see a man at different points and perspectives in his life. Usually it’s a film, where I’m playing a character who just comes in and offers something up.
698
699
700
701
I feel like there should be a statute of limitations on scoring political points on the tragedy that was Hurricane Katrina.
702
I don’t believe in right-angled turning points.
703
Winning the Revolutionary War, or the Civil War, or World War II were the turning points in our history, the sine qua non of our forward progress.
704
705
I think that people with differing points of view find common ground in ‘Modern Family’ is very flattering, and I’m appreciative of that.
706
Having an interview in English is difficult for me, but acting in English is much harder. Because when I’m acting in English, if someone points out bad pronunciation or accent, I cannot focus on my emotions anymore, so it was very hard.
707
Sometimes I just put some first serve in, which, on break points, it’s pretty important.
708
Even people that are evil believe what they’re doing is good. I don’t agree with those people, but it’s about understanding that there are those kinds of points of view.
709
It is necessary to bear in mind that Scripture only teaches the chief points of those true principles which lead to the true perfection of man, and only demands in general terms faith in them.
710
If you are well known at something else, you get points for doing stuff which lots of other people do, and much more, and they don’t get any points at all. You get over-praised, over-credited.
711
Product downsizing in the face of inflation in order to maintain retail price points has long been used by food companies, notably manufacturers of candy.
712
Once you are on court, it doesn’t matter the way you look. It doesn’t help you win points.
713
There are points in your life, especially if you have creative ambitions, where selfishness is necessary.
714
What we had on was BBC Asian Network and Bollywood sound-tracks – they were my reference points. But of course, where I grew up, I was one of two Indian guys in my school, and I didn’t really have anyone else to share that with.
715
Great novels have great characterization no matter what. But multiple points of view let me examine characters from entirely different perspectives, allowing me to learn more about everyone in the process.
716
We’ve found that the more products our customers have with us, the longer they stay. It’s about making sure we listen to our customer needs and get to those pain points.
717
Part of what confuses people in times of upheaval is that you’re getting so many different points of view and directions and so and so, how to do this and do that. And a lot of it is written in a language that honestly most people cannot understand.
718
I believe that economists put decimal points in their forecasts to show they have a sense of humor.
719
A poem is true if it hangs together. Information points to something else. A poem points to nothing but itself.
720
The continental troops have as much courage and real discipline as those that are opposed to them. They are more inured to privation, more patient than Europeans, who, on these two points, cannot be compared to them.
721
As a comedian, you want people to like you. That’s part of why you’re there in the first place: You have this unquenchable need to be liked, and then when you divert from that and take a chance at doing something that has moments of fierce unlikeability, you can hit some real low points.
722
723
The tubular steel chair is surely rational from technical and constructive points of view. It is light, suitable for mass production, and so on. But steel and chromium surfaces are not satisfactory from the human point of view.
724
725
When you make the judgement as a network that there are only three candidates, you are censoring points of view.
726
I think any time an offense struggles with developing a rhythm, struggles with scoring points, I think the first thing you have to examine is the quarterback.
727
People want someone focused on getting the job done, not political talking points but rather solving problems.
728
In ‘Saami,’ I take a poor dhobi’s son for admission to a private school. The principal refuses for various reasons and finally he points to the boy‘s bare body. Immediately, I tear the furnishings off the office chair to convert them into clothes for the boy.
729
We all have points in our lives where two roads present themselves and we have to make a decision very fast. We don’t know how it will impact our lives, but it usually does.
730
